AWS Amazon Inspector

1. Amazon Inspector is an AWS service that automatically identifies software vulnerabilities and network exposures in AWS workloads.

[{"selector":"#anim-a0fd4250-791c-48c6-95c7-c281a7b37f82 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3fbe9516-3d3f-49f3-b047-9eca0b7eb102","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b170c1ce-7553-4ca1-ab28-d03088a01f29","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It now links Amazon ECR images to active containers, allowing security teams to prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual runtime usage

[{"selector":"#anim-e84a0155-578e-4f77-8946-acf8a6512549 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d018afd8-3ffc-4b22-88d6-0990b6fe3a96","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Inspector scans a range of AWS resources, including EC2, Lambda, ECR container images, and CI/CD pipelines

[{"selector":"#anim-c55b7a16-2b56-44b8-b3a7-263ba0d6acdb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-156b55c8-166b-4da6-bf58-393c995b5a1f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27ed9ec1-e14d-4d38-b2e1-1401f0a2e09a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecc8fb13-19b3-483a-93df-faf7ec42bb77","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The service supports vulnerability scanning for minimal base images (scratch, distroless, Chainguard) and popular ecosystems like WordPress, Puppeteer, and Apache Tomcat

[{"selector":"#anim-0538fdc2-6c20-41f8-a07b-66b5d8ae257d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee881708-54bb-4735-b31d-d2086de57fe0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4280fd46-4aa0-4876-a52d-04fa2647fb7b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Container mapping shows which ECR images are running on ECS and EKS, with details like cluster ARN and number of pods/tasks

[{"selector":"#anim-88083fda-680c-49cc-af41-e14b006446bb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-95785767-8c9c-4b31-b834-6f34781199f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fcd32403-e542-4268-beed-79640e8aec72","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-284ef640-2c9e-4610-b217-5ad73e05d707","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Advanced scanning can be configured by image push, pull, or last in-use date, with flexible monitoring windows (14–180 days)

[{"selector":"#anim-50d05dec-87fd-41f5-bdf6-07ca569b2b55 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5f434c5d-f8a9-4acd-ab94-214fbe2f56b6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.55555%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88f6527d-a086-44c7-ae94-b211e52c3948","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14f9f213-627c-4119-8ab0-7045c7a83cfe","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Findings now include runtime-aware details such as InUseCount and lastInUseAt, helping prioritize cleanup and remediation
